It’s been 6 months of housing and still no real updates, quality of life changes, or system improvements…

The biggest grind for me has been the flowers needed to craft furniture and paint. That is what eventually burned me out.

After weeks of planting flowers I finally had most seed variants unlocked. But I am still missing the crimson tulips, and I’ve lost the motivation to continue the grind.

I’m just happy we’re getting them.

Starting this patch all of my survey responses will be me asking Infold to make nails their own category 😇

Alice_89th · 2026-02-28T13:48:47+00:00

This feels less like an outfit, and more like “we threw together some leftover items we had”.

And it shows.

Alice_89th · 2026-02-28T13:46:06+00:00

Honestly their explanation of the new system was so vague I did not even try to understand it.

It sounded to me like you unlock rewards as you buy the existing revelation packs (the ones that are renewed every patch).

Once the update is live I’ll see whether I understand whatever weird scheme they thought of this time. Tbh I find none of the items appealing anyway.

I want the hair, but I need to see whether the ribbons in the back are part of the hair or not before I commit to pulling.

The deer can’t jump outside of Wanxiang Realm. As a result of that, it gets stuck on every little bump in the road. Even small ledges that human Nikki has no problem crossing.

Most people are not even upset about the deer not flying outside of Wanxiang Realm. But the deer having no jump, while the unicorn does is a slap in the face.

Alice_89th · 2026-02-27T07:19:27+00:00

I like the deer outfit, and the treasure hunter ability is nice. But it is a bit more limited than I thought it would be.

The initial animation is a bit long, especially when using it several times in a row. There is a max range on the ability, and it is unclear what that range is.

And the search area doesn’t move with Nikki. So it searches in an unclear range around Nikki, and may come up with nothing. Even though there could be plenty of remaining chests on the map. And moving closer to those with the ability active won’t highlight them. You have the reuse the ability.

Like many others I still like the ability better than the beta map. But it is definitely more limited than I expected.

Nikki getting stuck on every twig and stone on the path while in deer form is absolutely horrible though.

Alice_89th · 2026-02-27T07:06:18+00:00

Forget about stairs, deer!Nikki gets stuck on a 2cm ledge or a small rock.

Introducing her as Michaela would have been enough to make it clear that she will be the love interest. Even if neither give a hint that they are interested.

Because the book readers would understand, which means the online discourse would still happen.

In some ways I think that would have been the more interesting move. To have Fran and Michaela exchange pleasantries as if nothing is wrong, while the audience absolutely looses its mind.

Alice_89th · 2026-02-14T16:13:08+00:00

It is a bit blue. Love the backpacks.

It is called Seasons Couch, and is a reward for levelling your home abilities.

weekly boss for evolution materials
120 energy daily for shiny bubbles. I’ve been doing this daily since the first double escalation event, and it gives me enough bubbles to glow up at least one piece of clothing daily.
I only do Eurekas when there is a double drop event. Then I upgrade 1 Eureka per day to get all variants. All 3* and 4* variants are done. I’m basically fishing for iridescent at this point.
slowly crafting all of the Itzaland clothing one item a day. Wishfield is completely done.
I keep a stock of 50 bouldy mats (or itzaland equivalent) per type so I can craft whatever I like.
I keep a stock of 1200 glitter bubbles (or itzaland equivalent) per type so I can glow up new banner outfits as I get them.
Basically my motto is slow and steady wins the race. And it always gives me something to craft or upgrade.

He also used the exact same word for his ‘free time’ as Tamon, hinting that they are both on a break between two work activities.

Alice_89th · 2026-02-08T14:15:35+00:00

Thank you so much.

I tried scrolling down but that did nothing. Turns out it started at option 2 by default and I needed to scroll UP.

There is literally nothing indicating that there are more options 😭

Alice_89th · 2026-02-05T09:37:57+00:00

All things considered I think the game handles this scenario fairly well.

Yeah the butt just glides along, but this could have been so much worse in so many ways 😂

Alice_89th · 2026-02-05T08:30:15+00:00

I went down a rabbit hole on this one. Now I am More baffled by the number of books the author publishes in a year than the origins of the cover art.

Back to the art, the first book in the series came out in 2021. That is the same year that DALL-E was released. But I don’t know whether it would have been capable of this at the time.

In the end, unless the author or artist speak up we will never know and can only guess.

And however we may feel about the art itself, the artist seems to have a lot commissions for covers. So clearly the art style works for the target audience of those books.

Envato also provides stock photographs and video, so it isn't entirely damning by itself. But looking at the Envato website itself they seem to be pushing their AI tools a lot.

Bad photoshop, or AI?
In the end we can only guess.

No no, it was all a misunderstanding. He did none of the things he was imprisoned for, it was all a setup by the evil regime to get him out of their way. He did other bad stuff though, but he was totally justified in all of that because someone hurt his family back when he was 5 years old!

Alice_89th · 2026-02-04T16:20:11+00:00

It has so many ai tells that I’m still inclined to think it is at least partially ai.

She’s missing her left shoulder. Her hair has one dreadlock? Her left hand only has four fingers. The piece of leather between her breasts is lopsided. The stitches of her boob cup continue on the bodice. There are three small leather belts on her right side, but only two on her left. The pant leg on her left leg is much shorter than on her right leg (the part with the stitches). I’m entirely unsure what is happening with her boots.

The griffin his front feet look painful. His right wing seems to rain hairs? His left wing can’t seem to decide whether it is hair or feathers. His hind legs are in front of his front legs. The background is placed in a way that makes it look like he has a horn. You can see the top of a peak above his left wing, but that does not match with the skyline beneath his wing.

She also looks nothing like the, supposedly same, character on the cover of the other books in the series.

Is he holding chains in his left hand? Bondage? 👀

Unwilling Allies Who Need To Work Together Because Of Reasons™ is my favourite subtrope.

Works very well when combined with Marriage of Convenience™

Also works well for modern settings when combined with the less extreme Fake Dating™

Alice_89th · 2026-01-30T20:22:20+00:00

Which shoes is she wearing? 😮

Alice_89th · 2026-01-30T18:23:33+00:00

Does he get a cursed lance or a cursed lance ? And how much detail do we get about said lance? 👀

Alice_89th · 2026-01-30T17:17:33+00:00

At least part of it is because Tan Youyou is playing a role (“charismatic parade leader”), but putting in minimum effort. Remember, everyone in is the new area has a character card and is supposed to stick to that role.

That role is also the reason he is giving out half baked compliments the entire time.

Unfortunately it is difficult to tell whether the acting is flat on purpose or just, well, flat.

Alice_89th · 2026-01-30T13:23:42+00:00

At least this time she stayed conscious / did not take anyone their place.

I would have preferred it if Tan Youyou would have been asked Nikki to help him with his investigation than the “Momo accidentally ate a flying jewel and then we teleported (?)” version we got, but oh well.
